關於本電子書
Part of the acclaimed nature book series that includes Over and Under the Pond, Over and Under the Rainforest, and Over and Under the Snow, this volume takes readers on a journey into the magical and mysterious reaches of Florida’s Everglades National Park.
Over the swamp, the barred owl hoots, and the great egret swoops down on snowy wings. The slow mazes of waterways are quiet with the shush of reeds and grasses. But under the swamp’s soft shadows, there’s a whole hidden world of panthers and orchids, red-bellied turtles and raccoons, lurking alligators and singing frogs. This beautifully illustrated nonfiction picture book reveals all the fascinating creatures living just out of sight in the branches and depths over and under the wetland.
ENCHANTING AND EDUCATIONAL: A charming story and dazzling illustrations invite readers of all ages to explore and learn about the Everglades, with swamps full of plants and animals that are as intriguing as they are lovely to see—and full of secrets to fire up young readers' curiosity!
NATIONAL LANDMARK AND WORLD HERITAGE SITE: Wetlands are precious landscapes all over the world, but the Everglades are special. They combine several distinct habitats, house an extraordinary variety of animals, and comprise the largest subtropical wilderness in North America. They are home to rare and endangered creatures, including some animals (like the Florida panther, West Indian manatee, and wood stork) that live ONLY in the Everglades.
GREAT SET OF NATURE BOOKS FOR KIDS: Acclaimed author and artist Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal have made dozens of beloved and critically acclaimed books.
